Netflix Greenlights “BRIGHT” Sequel Starring Will Smith

Despite the mixed reviews, Netflix has decided to greenlight a sequel to Will Smith’s cop-fantasy film, “Bright.”

The film seemingly became a hate-watch fest, as Netflix declared that “Bright” was the most-viewed Netflix film ever for its first week, in all of the 190-plus countries it services. Nielsen reports that 11 million watched the film in the U.S. in the first three days.

Netflix announced that the sequel will have Smith and co-star Joel Edgerton back along with David Ayer, who will be penning the script this time around. Eric Newman and Bryan Unkeless again set to produce.
